Filtering Reports

You can further modify the type of information that your custom report contains by using the Filter feature. The Filter option is available for some custom system configuration report requests.

The Filter dialog box contains several drop-down menus and text fields. Use them to build an expression. This expression defines the report parameters to include in the filter criteria wanted. The expression operators provided are common to the C programming language. Filter options are case sensitive.

For example, you can create a custom system configuration report request to include data on machines that are running the Solaris 7 or Solaris 8 operating environments. To do this, you would create the following expression using the Filter dialog box:

Operating System = SunOS 5.7
OR
Operating System = SunOS 5.8

As another example, you can create a custom system configuration report request to include the machines that have the SyMON packages installed. To do this, you would create the following expression:

Category contains SyMON

In order to include only those machines that have the Sun Management Center 3.5 SyMon packages installed, you can modify the above example this way:

Category contains SyMON AND Version contains 3.5
